Summary
And there she sat at the bottom of jar, head drooped over her legs, arms idly laid on her knees. Her eyes downcast, her lips pursed, her mind languidly flittered through scenes of the life before, the mediocrity of bygone times.
A short reimagination and reflection on Hope, represented through Elpis, left trapped in Pandora's Box (more accurately described as a jar), and her ruminations.

Summary
I look in the mirror, my eyes were red and puffy. I was in my room, hiding from your screams. You yelled; I ran.
A short story based on my interpretation of the song my tears ricochet by Taylor Swift.

Summary
All Penelope Featherington wanted was to secure a beneficiary for the Bridgerton charity gala.
What she got was a daily flood of flirty banter, shared secrets, and a steamy late night message that has her falling for a man she’s never met and wondering if the spark will survive meeting face to face.
All Alfred Debling wanted was a successful fundraiser for his wildlife sanctuary.
What he didn’t expect was his inbox filled with clever wit, empathetic compassion and undeniable charm, leaving him wondering if a woman like her could ever be interested in someone like him.
Typing their desires was safe until they both discovered each other’s photos online, causing the chemistry between them to become shadowed with clouded doubt.
TL;DR My thirst inspired thoughts.

Summary
Alfred begins to have doubts about his journey, his lifelong project to preserve the Great Auk, through the Northwest Passage. Being the logical man that he is, he decides to search for a practical match to keep his dream and standing in society intact as a death in the family forces him to come home.
Met with a changed Mayfair and a ton eager for eligible bachelors, Alfred feels out of his depth.
Penelope also begins to have doubts, but, for a handsome brunette instead. Whilst Colin Bridgerton may be minutes away from her house, forever in her thoughts, she seems to be miles away from his heart. Discouraged by this, she puts away notions of love and searches for something practical, more realistic, to get away from her family and gain independence once and for all.
Even if she has to do it alone.
What happens when the two meet?
Will a practical match bloom into something more?

Summary
“Perhaps you should take a seat,” said Violet.
Colin wouldn't remember the details of what his mother told him next. He would remember her hand warm on his knee, her eyes wide with concern, her voice gentle as velvet. All of it in stark contrast to the devastating news she shared.
Penelope was ruined.
